Colts cruise to easy 37-5 win over the Bills

The Bills didn’t have much of a chance, coming into the game with a starting quarterback they’ve employed less than two weeks and a running back who was lost with a head injury after two plays.

That actually sells short the reality that the Colts played well today, regardless the opponent.

Indianapolis (2-5) cruised to an easy win over the Bills, with quarterback Andrew Luck playing a sharp, efficient game which could carry over into games against actual competition.

Luck finished 17-of-23 for 156 yards and four touchdowns. He clearly benefitted from the return of wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, who had twi touchdowns. But there was also a run game for a change. Marlon Mack had 126 yards rushing and a touchdown and added another 33 yards and a touchdown as a receiver.

The day wasn’t without its speed bumps, as tight end Erik Swoope left with a knee injury and didn’t return.

But against the Bills (2-5), it didn’t matter much. Derek Anderson threw three interceptions in his first start, and once LeSean McCoy left after two plays with a head injury, they didn’t have much of a chance to move the ball. Anderson also fumbled, and the five-turnover day made it impossible for them.

meh – JT is just sad that his Raiders *still* have a worse record than the Bills.

What really hurt is that the Bills were actually moving the ball ok comparatively. Then they would turn it over and Colts would turn it into points. 24 points were pretty much giftwrapped with BAD turnovers in stupid places…

How many games in NFL history have ended with a score of 37-5?”

Answer is 1, this was the only game to end in this score… Where do we go from here is what I’m wondering. After the Derek Anderson experience, I’m starting to believe Josh Allen and his 80 yard passing games might be the best we can do right now and maybe Peterman isn’t that horrible, and that in itself is horrible.
